C - People Themed Trivia Questions

1. James Caan played a sidekick named "Mississippi" Alan Bourdillion Traherne in which 1966 John Wayne movie?

From Quiz
The Legendary James Caan

Answer: El Dorado

The 1966 western film "El Dorado" starred John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan. The film was loosely based on Harry Brown's 1960 novel "The Stars in Their Courses". James Caan played a sidekick nicknamed "Mississippi" who associated with John Wayne's gunslinging Cole Thornton character.

2. Rex Harrison is a novelist in a haze, seeking a seance from a quirky medium. Things go way beyond the joke when his dead wife appears in which 1945 David Lean film?

From Quiz Teddington's Great Wit

Answer: Blithe Spirit

Charles Condomine (Rex Harrison) is working on a new mystery novel but needs some professional help into the workings of mediums. He employs Madame Arcati (Margaret Rutherford) to perform a séance for him but, as she falls into a trance, Charles hears his (dead) wife's (Elvira) voice. Problem is, no one else does and they, including his current wife (Ruth, played by Constance Cummings), think he is pulling their leg. Further issues arise after everyone retires for the night and Elvira materialises, but only Charles can see her. Elvira is working towards re-uniting with Charles. She tampers with Charles' car, but it is Ruth who drives off in it and is killed. Ruth is now in the spirit world and she is out to get Elvira.

3. Ice Cube's first film was the classic 'Boyz n the Hood'. Which filmmaker became the first African American to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for his work on the film?

From Quiz Ice Cold

Answer: John Singleton

In the film, Ice Cube stars as Darrin "Doughboy" Baker alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. as Tre Styles. The film is set in two time periods; first in 1984 when the protagonists are at school, and later in 1991 when Doughboy has joined a gang.

4. Jamie Lee Curtis played Laurie Strode in films from what famous horror franchise?

From Quiz Jamie Lee Curtis Films

Answer: Halloween

Facing off against The Shape, also known as Michael Myers, for decades, Jamie Lee Curtis' first role was in John Carpenter's groundbreaking slasher flick, "Halloween", in 1978, returning for "Halloween II" the year after, "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later" in 1998, "Halloween: Resurrection" in 2002, and the 2018 sequel, also known as "Halloween". In the series, Curtis played Laurie Strode, later discovered to be Myers' sister. The role commenced the actress' reign as a scream queen in horror cinema; she would be a 'final girl' in several subsequent films.

5. Toni Collette's big international breakthrough occurred in 1994 with the title character in "Muriel's Wedding". Which band's music is featured predominantly throughout the film?

From Quiz You're Terrible, Muriel!

Answer: ABBA

"Muriel's Wedding" is a sleeper hit that made Toni Collette a star. Muriel Heslop is an outcast among her family and friends who, after a fallout with her family, absconds to Sydney to start a new life. In a wild series of events, Muriel accepts money to marry a swimmer from South Africa who needs a visa to become an Australian Olympic athlete. This ultimately leads to "Muriel's Wedding". Torn between a comedy and dark drama, the movie is soldered together by Muriel's love of ABBA which permeates throughout the film and culminates in the memorable "Waterloo" dance number. Toni Collette's performance was so well-regarded at the time that she won the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Award for Best Actress and was nominated for Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical.

6. When François goes back to his native village and finds his best friend Serge has become a drunkard and is unhappily married, he tries to help him. Which Claude Chabrol film (released in 1958) is this?

From Quiz What's in a Title? The films of Claude Chabrol

Answer: Le Beau Serge

François left the village to study in Paris 12 years previously and comes back to convalesce after an illness. Serge is seemingly unhappily married to Yvonne who is pregnant with their second child (the first one died), and when François tries to help him in Christ-like martyr fashion, it's seemingly a losing battle. Although "Le Beau Serge" was Chabrol's debut, he was well-versed in filmmaking since he'd been part of the legendary "Cahiers du Cinema" magazine/group which included fellow New Wavers-to-be Éric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette and François Truffaut. Chabrol was also very fortunate that his wife at the time, Agnès Goute, had just inherited a large sum of money and was excited at the idea of letting him make a film with it, a luxury very few wannabe directors enjoy. The film is often cited as the film which ushered in the aforementioned New Wave. "Le Beau Serge" contains some significant autobiographical details: the village where it was filmed (Sardent) was where Chabrol had been sent from Paris during World War II, so François's nostalgic homecoming must have struck a chord with Chabrol. Even more personal for Chabrol is Serge and Yvonne's first child who had died in infanthood: the same had happened to the Chabrols. Chabrol's feelings towards "Le Beau Serge" seem to have run hot and cold; "I like it better than I did. At one stage I hated it. I wasn't ashamed of it but I wasn't proud either. It has a demonstrative element that I find ridiculous. I found it rather clumsy. I made it when I was 27 years old... I'm less critical of the awkwardness now. There are things in it that work." All the red herrings came out in 1958: "In Case of Adversity" is a French film directed by Claude Autant-Lara, the "Cahiers du Cinema" crowd's arch-enemy; "The Young Lions" is a war film starring Marlon Brando; and "Mon Oncle" is a comedy directed by Jacques Tati.

7. In the film "The Last House on the Left" (1972), where were Mari and Phyllis going to celebrate Mari's birthday?

From Quiz Horror Films by the Master of Evil, Wes Craven

Answer: The girls were headed to a concert.

Mari's parent did not like the fact their daughter was friends with Phyllis. They thought Phyllis was a bad influence on their daughter. They reluctantly allowed Mari to go with Phyllis to the concert. The girls are soon meet by a young stranger, Junior. They all head back to Junior's motel room to party. Everything was going great until Junior's dad, Krug showed up. Krug along with his cronies, Sadie and Weasel, kidnapped and assaulted the girls. Junior did not take part in any of the wrong doing to Mari or Phyllis. At one point in the film, Krug tried to make his son assault Mari. Both girls managed to escape the psychopaths, but Phyllis was caught and killed. Mari managed to get to the river, but was shot and wounded by Krug. She eventually made it home, but died in the presence of her parents. Mari was played by Sandra Cassel and Phyllis by Lucy Grantham. This film was the first film Wes Craven directed. The film was released in 1972. Sean S. Cunningham was the producer on the film. Sean was also the director of my favorite film, "Friday the 13th". The first time I saw this film, I was really freaked out by the character Sadie. Jeramie Rain, who played Sadie, was way over the top. The film seemed so real to me just because Sadie enjoyed torturing the girls immensely.

8. One of Coppola's first films was a musical called "Finian's Rainbow", which was based on a 1947 Broadway hit play. Which legendary dancer starred in this 1968 film?

From Quiz The Films of Francis Ford Coppola

Answer: Fred Astaire

Fred Astaire played an Irishman named Finian, who traveled to a small town in the American South. He had stolen a pot of gold, intending to plant it, that it might grow faster. A leprechaun was following Finian-the gold was his. There were racial themes in "Finian's Rainbow" that were ahead of their time in 1947. Petula Clark co-starred as Finian's daughter. The film featured some great songs: "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" and "That Old Devil Moon." Fred Astaire was nearing the end of his brilliant career when he made this one. He was still dancing (and singing) like no one else after 35 years in the movies. He died in 1987, at age 88.

9. In the movie "From Dusk till Dawn", George Clooney played a convict who escaped from prison and battled vampires at a strip club south of the border. What was the name of George Clooney's character in this movie?

From Quiz George Clooney Movie Madness

Answer: Seth Gecko

George Clooney played the character of Seth Gecko, a professional thief who broke out of prison with his brother, Richie. While on the run, he and his brother kidnapped a family and made them take him and his brother to Mexico, where they were to meet a friend who was supposed to help them with their escape.

10. In his entire career, George Cukor received five Academy Award nominations for Best Director. His first nomination was for his film adaptation of a classic novel. What was the film?

From Quiz The George Cukor Experience

Answer: Little Women

When Cukor directed his version of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" in 1933, it had been fifteen years since the last version of the novel was filmed, before the advancement of sound in motion pictures. Even with excellent color versions made later by acclaimed directors Mervyn LeRoy in 1949 and Gillian Armstrong in 1994, this black and white version remains a favorite of many movie buffs.

11. What is the American title of Stephen Chow's spoof of James Bond movies?

From Quiz The Unknown Genius of Stephen Chow

Answer: From Beijing With Love

In "Gwok chaan Ling Ling Chat" or "From Beijing With Love", Chow is a street vendor who doubles as a secret agent with luck, a lot like Inspector Clouseau of the "Pink Panther" series. When he is sent to find "The Man With The Golden Gun", insanity ensues.

12. Jack Carson, Zachary Scott and Joan Crawford all appeared in "Hollywood Canteen". In what other film did the three of them appear?

From Quiz Jack Carson

Answer: Mildred Pierce

Nominated for six Oscars, "Mildred Pierce" won only one, with Joan Crawford taking the Best Actress Oscar. It is the story of Mildred Pierce, whose spoiled and ungrateful daughter has an affair with Mildred's second husband, Monte. When Monte is murdered, Mildred confesses, but did she really do it?

13. Joan co-starred in a Hope and Crosby "Road" movie. Which one?

From Quiz Joan Collins Movies

Answer: Road to Hong Kong

Why not? No more or less entertaining than the other "Road" movies.

14. Curtis had a memorable role in "Spartacus". How did he die in the movie?

From Quiz Remember Tony Curtis?

Answer: Killed in a sword fight

Curtis played Antoninus. He dies in a sword fight with Kirk Douglas at the end of the movie - each trying to spare the other the pain of being crucified. Great movie. With a stellar cast: Charles Laughton, Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov and Jean Simmons.

15. Cheadle plays a co-worker of Tommy Lee Jones' in 'Volcano' (1997). In what city was this disaster flick set?

20. Love brings a maze of joy and unexpected consequence on the back of a fleeting affair. Which 1945 drama that stars Celia Johnson & Trevor Howard was directed by David Lean?

From Quiz Teddington's Great Wit

Answer: Brief Encounter

Laura has a dull marriage and part of her routine is going into town every Thursday to shop and see the matinee. There she meets Alec Harvey, a doctor, who consults to the local hospital once a week. You guessed it, Thursdays. Their affair goes deeper with every meeting but theirs is an impossible arrangement. Both can see the writing on the wall but neither knows how to stop. In 1999 this was voted the second greatest British film of all time by the British Film Institute.

21. In which 1997 horror film did Ice Cube star alongside Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight and Owen Wilson?

From Quiz Ice Cold

Answer: Anaconda

Ice Cube played a cameraman named Danny Rich in 1997's 'Anaconda'. The plot involved a film crew being kidnapped by a crazed snake hunter, Paul Serone (Jon Voight), who was searching for, you guessed it, a giant anaconda. The film crew, which also included the director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) and a sound engineer named Gary Dixon (Owen Wilson) were left fighting for their lives against various irritated anacondas.

22. In what 1980 film did Jamie Lee Curtis play the sibling of a child accidentally killed during a game of hide and seek?

From Quiz Jamie Lee Curtis Films

Answer: Prom Night

A cult classic after its 1980 release, this low-budget Canadian horror film was the third in a series of four that Curtis was in at the start of her career, and another instance in which she played the final girl of a slasher movie. In this one, her younger sister died while trying to join in a game of hide-and-seek, and though many were there to witness her accidental death, they made a pact not to tell anyone of their involvement. Ultimately, this resulted in a string of deaths on prom night in the movie. The film saw a remake in 2008 and several sequels over the years, but Jamie Lee Curtis won a Genie Award for her role in the original.

23. In 1996, Toni Collette tried her hand at period dramas with her performance in the movie "Emma". Which transformative character from Jane Austen's novel did she play?

From Quiz You're Terrible, Muriel!

Answer: Harriet Smith

"Emma" is a 1996 film directed by Douglas McGrath based on the 1815 novel by Jane Austen. Emma Woodhouse (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) is an up-and-coming socialite in the early 1800s who prides herself on being the perfect matchmaker. To further that end, she takes on the project of transforming Harriet Smith (played by Toni Collette) into a more cultured woman in order to attract a more cultured man. Unfortunately for both, things don't quite go as planned. The movie was well-received in 1996 and while considered a springboard for Paltrow's career (she would win an Oscar two years later), it also demonstrated Collette's versatility.

24. One of his famous silent films, this movie by Chaplin followed his journey to find gold in Alaska. What's the name?

From Quiz Something about Chaplin

Answer: The Gold Rush

Charlie Chaplin put great emphasis on the music of his films, and the premiere performance of The Gold Rush in 1925 had a score compiled by Carli D. Elinor, one of the most distinguished musical directors for silent films. In 1942, when Chaplin decided to reissue "The Gold Rush", he composed an entirely new score with Max Terr, another well-known popular musician.

25. In the 1996 film "Scream", what did Sidney use to kill Stu?

From Quiz Horror Films by the Master of Evil, Wes Craven

Answer: Sidney killed Stu by dropping a television on his head.

Sidney had just learned that Stu and Billy, her boyfriend, had killed her mother one year ago to the date. The boys had developed a plot to kill everyone and then appear as the sole survivors. Sidney escaped while Billy and Stu argued. Stu found Sidney and chased her into the living room. Stu was knocked to the floor and Sidney dropped the television on his head. Neve Campbell played the role of Sidney Prescott. Matthew Lillard played the role of Stu. Matthew in my opinion was a great choice for the role; he played a psycho killer wonderfully. This was not the first time he played a horror/comedy role. He played the role of Chip Sutphin in the 1994 John Waters film, "Serial Mom". Neve was probably best known at the time for her role on "Party of Five". She played the role of Julia Salinger. "Scream" was the 21st film directed by Wes Craven. It was released in 1996 and was a great success for Wes. He had a cameo in the film; he played Fred the janitor. He wore a red and green stripped sweater reminiscent of the one Freddy Krueger wore in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films.

26. What movie is about Marilyn David, a girl who spends her Thursdays sitting on a bench with friend Peter Dawes and later becomes a celebrity, after falling in love with English Nobleman Charles Gray?

From Quiz The Films of Claudette Colbert

'The Gilded Lily' began a long and lucrative film partnership between Colbert and Fred MacMurray (Peter Dawes) which lasted from 1935-1948.

27. James Cagney's breakthrough role came in this gangster film, which includes the famous scene where Tom mashes a grapefruit in Kitty's face, a scene which has been duplicated in various ways many times since. What film is this?

From Quiz James Cagney

Answer: The Public Enemy

Like many gangster movies, "The Public Enemy" chronicles the rise and fall of a Prohibition Era criminal, whose success and greed for more catches up with him in the end. Nominated for Best Picture, this is one of the early films that brought the genre to popularity.

28. What superhero character did George Clooney play in a 1997 film?

From Quiz George Clooney Movie Madness

Answer: Batman

George Clooney played the role of Batman in the movie, "Batman and Robin". Batman was a crime fighting superhero who lived in Gotham City. In "Batman and Robin", George, as Batman, met Poison Ivy. She wanted him to help her rebuild the environment but he refused because it would have killed millions of people. She then put a spell on Batman that led him to be attracted to her; but Batman got lucky because Mr. Freeze crashed the party.

29. Which film does Chow star as Mighty Steel Leg Sing?

From Quiz The Unknown Genius of Stephen Chow

Answer: Shaolin Soccer

In "Siu lam juk kau" or "Shaolin Soccer", Stephen Chow answers the question, "How do you make a living when you are an invincible master of kung fu?" The answer is, you get a job picking up garbage. To bring kung fu to a broader audience, Chow and his fellow, under-employed and unemployed monks come together to play soccer for a million dollar prize. They play against Team Dragon, a team of kung fu women with beards and mustaches and against Team Evil, a team injected with an "American" serum that gives them superhuman soccer playing ability.

Jack and Doris made three films together: "Romance On The High Seas" in 1948, "My Dream Is Yours" and "It's A Great Feeling" in 1949. There's a hilarious scene in "Romance On The High Seas" where Jack Carson and Oscar Levant are sitting in a bar, lamenting their women problems. They keep ordering drinks, but while they're talking, an old man keeps going from one side to the other, drinking their drinks. Jack and Oscar begin slurring their words and thinking that they're getting drunk, when they barely had a drop to drink. Doris Day sings "It's Magic" near the end of the film.
